FBI

Please stop.

- - Oh, oh...

- -

It stops when you tell me what I need to know.

No...

Where is he?

Where is he?!

I don't know. Please, please.

Please.

This is all a mistake.

I didn't have anything to do with that man's death.

You really didn't do it, did you?

- Yes, yes, yes. - Yeah?

I promise. I swear.

Please, please.

- I can't do that. -

No, no, no. No, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

This is not the kind of stuff we want hitting the streets.

The person we're looking for had access to...

Need some help?

Hey, yeah, I'm looking for the SAC.

Isobel Castille.

- Hi, uh, I'm Hailey. - Detective Upton.

I've heard a lot of good things about you.

I'm Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille.

We just caught a pretty gruesome murder,

so you might as well hit the ground running.

Sounds good to me.

You will be partnered with Agent Zidan.

- Hi, I'm OA. - Hi.

- Hailey. - Nice to meet you.

You too.

Listen up, everyone.

This is Detective Hailey Upton from Chicago PD.

She will be with us for the next few weeks

as part of our interagency training program.

All right, so let's, uh,

direct our attention to the screens here.

Found the body of a young John Doe in St. Nicholas Park.

A hundred yards from Alexander Hamilton's house.

Federal land, federal case... and no,

it is not where Aaron Burr shot him.

The famed duel took place in... anyone, anyone?

Weehawken, New Jersey. Kristen knew.

Unfortunately, there's far less clarity in the present homicide case.

Evidence of torture and abuse,

the victim was brown-skinned,

but there was no other evidence of a hate crime.

So let's dig in, get to work, start filling in the blanks.

Yeah? Go.

- You ready? - Yeah.

So, Chicago PD? Should I be nervous?

Nervous?

You guys have been in the news a lot

and not for good reasons.

Uh, yeah, we've had some issues,

but they're being addressed.

It's a great place. I'm proud to be a part of it.

Listen, in the future, if you want to insult me,

you can just go ahead and do it.

You don't have to disguise the putdown with humor.

Which car? This one?

Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

I guess that's just my way of saying

we do things different here.

Mm.

Just trying to keep it real.

So you spend much time in New York?

Nah, first time here.

Any early observations?

Pizza's too thin.

It's like a cracker with sauce on it.

Just trying to keep it real.

Yo!

You two taking the handle on this?

Yes, sir.

I'm Agent Zidan, this is Detective Upton.

Can you bring us up to speed?

Jogger called it in.

No blood pooled on the ground. No shell casings.

So it looked like the guy was killed at another location

and dropped off here.

Did the jogger see the body being dropped?

If she did, I would've said so.

It's a New York thing.

It felt like a cop versus fed thing.

What's that supposed to mean?

You think you're better than us.

- No phone, no wallet? - No nothing.

Don't even know what the kid's ethnicity is.

Could be Hispanic, Middle Eastern...

His face is so torn up, I can't tell which.

That's a Kada, so he's probably Indian.

Sikh.

Could still be a hate crime, though.

Most of the people around here

don't really care which shade of brown you are.

We have a university bookstore receipt dated yesterday.

Thanks.

Got a hit on facial rec.

Victim's name is Aman Patel.

25. Indian national.

All right, notify the Indian Consulate

so they can make the appropriate notifications.

He's a registered student at Paul Revere University,

Yes, here on an F-1 student visa.

Before that, he graduated top of his class

out of a university in India.

Then he came here to pursue a masters in engineering.

Any priors or run-ins with the campus cops?

No, looks like he was too busy getting a 4.0 GPA.

Right.

M.E. just confirmed that he was tortured.

Nails were torn off one by one,

fingers pulled back and individually broken.

Kay, so someone wanted Aman to suffer

or needed answers. The question is, which one?

- Do we have a home address? - Not yet.

We do have a PO box over at the university.

All right, head over there and see what you can learn.

He was a great kid. Every professor's dream.

Did Aman ever mention any issues?

Threats, fears, anything out of the ordinary?

I'm not sure if this is related, but...

something happened a few days ago.

He was being harassed walking to class.

Some racist guy was taunting him.

Calling him a terrorist.

Mm-kay. One last thing:

Do you have any idea where Aman was living?

No, but I know he walked to school.

And he didn't like his roommate.

Said he partied too much.

Can you think of anything else?

No, sorry.

It's okay. Thank you.

Actually, there's a laundromat near the house.

Aman thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Clean clothes for 20 bucks a week.

I get it. This is New York.

There are dry cleaners on every block.

I'm just trying to tell you what I know.

The home address he used to secure the PO box

was from Albany.

Apparently, he has an uncle who lives there.

But he wasn't living there.

You can't walk to campus from Albany.

I'm sorry, that's the only address I've got.

Anything else?

Yes, uh, Professor Banks said Aman was on the wrong end

of some racial taunting recently.

Did he file a report?

Yes, the man's name is Frank Prichard,

comes around here about once a week,

always spewing racial nonsense.

Campus security ever detain him?

Yep. Several times.

Okay, I'll need to see those reports right away.

Free country.

I got a right to speak my mind.

Is this how you speak your mind?

What? No.

Oh, no, I don't kill people. I'm a patriot!

I'm just... I'm trying to keep the neighborhood safe.

Safe from what?

Arabs.

- Excuse me. - Not the good ones, like you.

I'm talking about the ones with bombs.

I'm just doing what the government wants me to do.

"See something, say something," huh?

No. See something, do something.

See, I get pictures of the ones I think are suspicious.

You see this guy, Frank?

He's an Indian. Not an Arab.

It's kind of the same thing, right?

Before he died,

he told his professor that you were harassing him,

calling him all sorts of colorful names.

It's possible.

Gonna need an alibi, Frank.

Where were you last night?

New York Hospital.

Had a gallstone.

Just got out this morning.

Gonna need copies of those photos too.

Now.

I had a thumb drive.

Here.

Saves me a stamp.

Was gonna mail them to Homeland Security anyway.

If I hear you're harassing any more immigrants,

I'm gonna come back here, and I'm gonna break your arm.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Good.
